SightX 2007-01-29 . chapter 1
First off: the name is Sightx. Visit the profile if you want to know more.

But back to reviewing.

Anyways, did you write this song? I didn't really understand if it was something that inspired your 'random collection of words' or if the song was the random collection of words.
If it is yours, it is good. To me, because it is a song, it would be better to hear the music as well so that the mood is set. Is it slow or fast, sombre or upbeat? I can see it being a slower, kind of mellow retrospective kind of song.
But none the less, I can see it having to do with the idea of your shadow being a part of you, and also something that some people or children are afraid of. Kind of like peter pan, as a referance.
I liked the line:
"As black as night, the pictures are
Always haunting me, in my sleep
familiarity, in the dark"

i think that it flows nicely, it makes cohearant sense so I dont see it as a random collection of words at all. You could turn this into a story if that is what you wanted to do, but I like it as a song. You have to explain less things with verses and refrains than you do with chapters and paragraphs. I also like that it is told in first person, with the use of the word "I/me" sort of thing.
There are of course somethings that you wonder about, like who is this person? why do you get the idea that they are lonely or lost?
I hope that this is detailed enough for you. Though I dont know where you are going with this, or if its just a stand alone song but I think you should run with it if possible. It's well done.
